Taste Test – Cratejoy Treats International (Thailand)

We started a new monthly international snack subscription box Treats International from Cratejoy. Our first months selection is from Thailand. Oddly it seems that every subscription box either starts with Thailand or features it prominently. There are two levels of subscription we chose the premium box which has ~10 snacks for $27.95 per month.
